Description Ilya Gorskin 2016-04-08 03:57:06 UTC

Is it really necessary to wxGTK with use webkit depended on webkit:2?

Firstly, please specify what versions of the software you are looking at.  Secondly, I don't understand this bug report.  The title says that wxgtk depends on webkit:4 but a quick scan of all the wxgtk ebuilds only shows a dependency on webkit:2.

Comment 2 Ilya Gorskin 2016-04-11 05:52:28 UTC

x11-libs/wxGTK-3.0.2.0-r2 has depend on webkit:2 its really necessary?

Probably.

Comment 4 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

The answer is yes because we need gtk2 webkit.

Oops didn't mean to remove the blocker bug.

Is upstream aware of the problem? I think this summer distributions like Fedora and Debian will "push" strongly to kill the old/vulnerable webkitgtk slot and, hence, they could have problems :/

Sure, we can pick up their patches when that happens.  I took a look at the webkit parts upstream last week and didn't see any recent changes.
